Check your dw on the window where it works like you want.  That dw is either inherited from a dw that has that already coded or has code in the rbuttondown event.

that doesnt seem to be the case - no code in rbutton event on either window or datawindow control

It will be in the ancestor dw then, as I mentioned.

Hi Andrew;

  FWIW:  99.9% of the time, if the RHMB event is not coded - the missing RHMB is due to a User Event mapped to either a low-level DW Control (pbm_xxxx) mapping or another User Event mapped to a low-level mouse event that intercepts the DW Control's normal RHMB processing. This can also happen from the parent window perspective as well where a low-level message is preempted that was (should be) targeted to the DC control. This is even more affected if somewhere the code "Message.Processed =  TRUE" is set and then the O/S message that could fire the related event is dropped from the message queue before the DC sees it.

Hi Andrew;

I this issue like you describe is truly repeatable .. please open a support ticket.

I guess the workaround for now would be to make sure that every DW Control has a RHMB event coded that implements your own PopMenu() behaviour.

Hi Andrew;

   Here is the code from my framework below. The framework uses dynamic pop-up menu objects because it needs to resolve the current user's language in order to use the correct Menu Object class. So the "lo_menu" object uses a Create Using to do that, then the "lo_win" pointer gets resolved as to what window the Menu needs to center upon. Also, this code works for a PB Native, PowerServer Web, Mobile or IWA deployed application, as follows:

Note: You can download the full framework's order entry demo app and see all the code ...
